The Problem with No Name/Making the Personal Political...Second Wave Feminism
Betty Friedan: Feminine Mystique (1963)
--“the problem lay buried"
--Women “could desire no greater destiny than to glory in their own femininity,"
--Presidential Commission on the Status of Women
--Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
National Organization for Women:
"to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men."
1967: 1000 members
1971: 15,000 members
FREEDOM SUMMER:
"we didn't come down here to work as a maid this summer."
"Assumptions of male superiority are as widespread and deeply rooted and every much as crippling to the women as the assumptions of white superiority are to the Negro."
LIBERAL VS. RADICAL FEMINISM
RADICAL GROUPS:
SCUM
W.I.T.C.H.
Redstockings
Cell 16
AS A RESULT OF THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT:
1. increased participation of women in politics on all levels
2. Title IX of Educational Amendments Acts of 1972, prohibited colleges from discriminating on basis of sex, requiring schools to fund womens' sports at a comparable level to mens' sports
3. Roe v. Wade: 1973, struck down Texas and Georgia statutes outlawing abortion, saying that states could no longer outlaw abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy
4. Equal Credit Opportunity Commission: in 1974, made it possible for women to get credit in their own name
5. ERA, which passed in Congress, and has to be seen as a victory in one sense, because it did pass in Congress, even though it is not now an amendment, since states did not ratify it in time. Why a victory? Military academies and other military arenas thought it would pass so they began to make changes that helped the position of women in the military

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Vietnamese Declaration of Independence, 1945
"All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
This immortal statement was made in the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America in 1776. In a broader sense, this means: All the peoples on the earth are equal from birth, all the peoples have a right to live, to be happy and free. The Declaration of the French Revolution…states: "All men are born free and with equal rights, and must always remain free and have equal rights." Those are undeniable truths. Yet, the French imperialists, abusing the standard of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, have violated our Fatherland and oppressed our fellow citizens. They have acted contrary to the ideals of humanity and justice. In the field of politics, they have deprived our people of every democratic liberty.
